Now let me tell you about a family situation that I saw in my childhood. There was a mother in that family, she had a son and daughter. The father died when the children were young. The son dropped out of his school and took family responsibility. It means that the son has taken the work and responsibility of leading financially.

Daughter got married, latter the son also got married. But due to some reasons.. her sister separated from her husband. At the time of his sister separation, she had three daughters.

What the mother always to say her son.. your sister is in trouble you should be there for her and she is your responsibility.

How fair is this? A son also have a life. His responsibility which started at 15 years old is still continuing even after 50 years. Is this the definition of responsibility?

Responsibility or service these two are given almost the same meaning. Suppose a wife cook for everyone in the family, cleaning and other works she does most of the work alone.. it is called responsibility or service?

If your actions benefit someone other than yourself, society gives you that is your responsibility. If the responsibilities are limited to only one person in the family it is not called responsibility, it is called slavery.

If your life is only about your responsibility, if you can’t find a place for your joy and passion in your life definitely that will be no place for your happiness in your life.
